Check Point Harmony Endpoint Reviews

We had the need for every employee to be protected inside and outside of the organization and mainly the sales areas, which often are exposed yet constantly have the greatest mobility within our organization. There were uncertainties and needs for security. We have been testing solutions that will allow us to complete this requirement. We opted for and used the Check Point Harmony Endpoint, which gave us easy administration and management of the equipment, ensuring safety in the best possible way. 

Check Point Harmony Endpoint gives our organization and us a solution that we could manage while complying with internal and external policies and regulations. It's been a great ally in the security and internal strategies of our organization. After testing and using it, we have realized that its capacity is not only to secure the devices. It also gives added value in its way of managing and allows us to have control over inventory and management of the equipment that we have.  

The best feature is that it can secure the equipment. It is integrated with a cloud platform that takes advantage of many emulation features in real-time filtering of malicious attacks. It has detection management with all types of computing power used in the equipment and outside of it in the cloud to which it is connected. This comes to give us a complete solution.

For the future, I would like to see maybe a content-filtering emulation feature in Harmony Endpoint. It would already be cataloged in the app. It would help filter other types of characteristics that we have in our equipment, and allow us to see the ones that are also very vulnerable. We'd like to have everything integrated into a single solution that communicates with the cloud.

I've used the solution for a full year.

We were having several difficulties when we were presented with the design that we had to implement for the teams and personnel that had to work outside of the organization due to the pandemic. 

As a result of all this and all these uncertainties, the need to secure the equipment was the reason we adopted the Harmony endpoint solution. It came to protect us inside and outside the institution. The equipment itself does not need to be connected and secured by the perimeter area of ​​our organization.

We have adopted this solution in a quick, simple way. It integrated well based on these three characteristics: 

1. It is minimally invasive. From a single installer, the equipment is protected and secured. 

2. The solution is really not burdened with the need for computing power for the local management of the device, which will prevent the teams from slowing down. 

3. It is integrated with a cloud administration which makes it easy, fast, and simple to manage each of your policies for the security of the equipment. 

Its most outstanding feature is the power to manage everything from a dashboard, a window that is in the cloud, which allows us to manage it from anywhere in the world through any browser, from anywhere. This is a feature that came to give administrators the possibility to work from home. Today many of us are remote workers who are not at the company, on-site. We are not in a single site, and yet we manage well and have the capacity and the assurance of managing everything easily, quickly, and simply.

This is one of the most innovative solutions due to the fact that it includes many real-time content filtering features, management, and assurance of the transactions of what went in or out of our peripherals. That said, it is important to integrate other solutions to continue innovating in the market.  

I would very much like to have the opportunity to see applications access at the web level and have applications from different brands and devices give simplicity to the management that we are going to need in the future.

I've used the solution for about two years.

The solution is really stable. I have had the opportunity to try it on Mac and to try it on Windows. Its functionality, filtering, and execution have been really stable.

It is a fairly scalable solution that is simple to use and quick to install on the devices of each user, that is, on their computers.

We use Check Point Antivirus for cyber security purposes.

What I like best about Check Point Antivirus is that it's a good solution against phishing, malware, etc. It can do a lot in terms of security.

You can also manage all the endpoints or users from the Check Point Antivirus platform, which is another feature I found valuable in the solution.

An area for improvement in Check Point Antivirus is its price because it's expensive. It would depend on the clients, but sometimes, you'll have clients who don't have many endpoints, so in that case, clients would find the price for Check Point Antivirus to be higher.

I've been using Check Point Antivirus for six months.

Check Point Antivirus is a stable solution. It's a very good solution.

Check Point Antivirus is a scalable solution.

The technical support for Check Point Antivirus is helpful, but sometimes, it isn't easy to reach the support team.

On a scale of one to five, my rating for Check Point Antivirus support is four.

Setting up Check Point Antivirus wasn't difficult because it just required downloading the software, then installing it where you want to install it. There wasn't any issue with the initial setup of Check Point Antivirus.

How long the deployment of Check Point Antivirus takes would depend on the number of client endpoints, but the process could take just five or six minutes maximum. If your internet connection is slow, then deploying Check Point Antivirus would take longer.

I implemented Check Point Antivirus myself.

Check Point Antivirus is an expensive solution, especially for clients that don't have as many endpoints.

Check Point Antivirus has a free trial for one month, and within the trial period, there's no limit to the number of endpoints it can support, but when the trial expires, you'll have to buy the license, which covers one year.

You can't buy a license for the solution without being a Check Point partner first.

I'm using the latest version of Check Point Antivirus.

I deploy Check Point Antivirus for the customer. I'm a network and cyber security engineer, so I provide Check Point Antivirus to clients. I'm an integrator, and currently, my clients have a total of one hundred fifty endpoints on Check Point Antivirus. I also manage the solution for clients, which includes reporting, looking into the traffic and attacks, then I explain whatever's going on to the clients.

Maintenance can be done on Check Point Antivirus, and you just have to select the user that's very vulnerable to attacks, then that would trigger maintenance, and Check Point Antivirus would update automatically. It isn't difficult as long as your internet is good.

I would recommend Check Point Antivirus to others because it's very good software, and it works against every attack. Check Point Antivirus is an important solution.

On a scale of one to ten, my rating for the solution is eight because there's still room for improvement.

Check Point Antivirus is the best-in-class security solution for all kinds of enterprises and IT servers and clouds. 

It helps in generating active threat detection intelligence responses to the system to stop the entry of virus attacks and also prevent the systems and servers from any potential harm. 

It is one of the most advanced security software that helps in threat detection and its easy remediation. 

It proactively stops threats and provides immediate security cover to existing infrastructure to avoid any great harm to the system and server.

Check Point Antivirus helped us to gain extra momentum on the security front, where every security access is now carefully monitored and checked. There is no security breach in our systems. The advanced threat detection intelligence is easy to operate, and even a person from a non-tech background can also go ahead with working with Check Point Antivirus and ensure that the system is secure from all rounds and corners.

The Antivirus can fight malware and ransomware attacks proactively and provides detailed reports through a dashboard and inbuilt reporting and monitoring system, which helps monitor the regular upgrades and progress of working.

The advanced intelligence is embedded in the software for ransomware and threat attack detection on systems and servers.

Its prevention of threat attacks and managing of the system security is in a unified manner with complete control covered by the authorization team without any security breach.

It is one of the fastest malware prevention software with advanced upgrades to have 360-degree threat detection and system remediation.

The quickest response time and quick turnaround time help curb the attack in the best possible manner without much harm to the system and servers.

They can improve the customization features to the greatest extent possible and also help bring automation into system security in the most unified manner possible. 

It is still one of the most remarkable systems securing software with amazing positive rates of detecting and catching malware attacks and also preventing system and data breaches. 

All the detection of threat attacks is done in real-time with round-the-clock security features like signature-based threat detection, rootkit threat detection, and many more. Users and the tech team love them.

I've used the solution for over three months.

The solution is stable.

This is a highly scalable solution.

Technical support has been helpful and supportive.

Positive

We were using a Trend-branded security solution earlier, and due to a smaller response from the business team, we decided to switch and change the vendor.

The setup is streamlined and easy.

We used a vendor team to assist with the initial setup. 

The ROI is good compared to other security software options.

Check Point Antivirus brings trust, scalability, and advanced security solution features. It is easy to integrate and use across different business environments. The cost is significantly low presently, and utilities are wonderful and worth trying. The licensing and renewal process is also smooth and not complex at all. 

We looked into McAfee, Avast, Norton, and Bitdefender as well. 

Try the solution and experience the best features on your own.

We use Check Point on our 500 computers to protect them from viruses and malware. The network is a protected local area network with limited connectivity to the internet. Not all computers are connected to the internet; only users with the necessity to connect can access it. We also increase the protection from viruses/malware by disabling USB ports for mobile storage. With all the protection steps taken, we still see that antivirus is a must to have as standard computer protection.

With all security steps taken to protect the network, viruses and malware still appeared in the network. Check Point Harmony Endpoint (endpoint antivirus) has helped our organization by preventing further damage to the computers and the network by detecting and taking appropriate action (quarantine, clean, delete) to viruses and malware. 

By doing this, our organization's business can maintain its operational state without any significant disturbance, and that is the most important thing to achieve.

Some of the most valuable features from Check Point include:

1. Its ability to run real-time scans in the background and detect all the malware and viruses while taking action to clean the system from the threat.

2. On-premise centralized management, so the client can do signature updates locally and save the internet bandwidth.

3. The reporting feature where we can see and monitor what happened on our client computers. For example, which client has out-of-date signatures, which client is infected by what virus, et cetera. 

Some areas of improvement could be :

1. Making the user interface on the server more intuitive and user-friendly. 

2. Making it easier for the user to do tuning and configuration to the server or the client application. For example, to turn off notifications, the user should be able to do that with some clicks on the user interface instead of searching and reading about how to do it in the knowledge base first and then trying to do it.

3. Our application version is quite old, and Check Point already released a newer version for endpoint protection, which includes a cloud version. After doing some trials, we see that Check Point already made many improvements to the features and user interface.   

I've been using the solution for five years.

Tthis solution runs with good stability.

If we deploy it on-premise, we should see the server hardware requirement first and match it with the number of clients we want to handle.

Customer service gave good support when we needed it. For example, when we need support on renewing the license or when we need to upgrade the client version, they have a quick response time to deal with the problem.

Positive

We did use a different solution previously. We switched as we want to use the same brand for our NGFW and our endpoint protection.

The setup was quite straightforward. We installed the server first and then made the client installer. If you have an active directory on the network, you can install it with push installation. That said, we don't have it, so we needed to install the client by accessing the client directly.

We implemented the product together with the vendor and an in-house team. The vendor team has good knowledge when it comes to implementing the product.

At the time we purchased it, the licensing was separated into some modules. There were antivirus modules, data protection modules, and full modules if I'm not mistaken. You should make sure that the module you choose fits your requirement. 

We evaluated the ESET antivirus.

Check Point has released their new product on endpoint protection, which includes a cloud version. You could try it for free to see if this product matches your needs before purchasing it.

We were searching for a next-generation antivirus solution, and this was the best choice on the market.

We have 25 users who work from home and the office.

All computers have Windows Professional version 10 or 11 installed.

We implemented a policy in which every client (either PC or mobile) has to have the Endpoint protection software installed with all the available blades.

Our company's cyber security monitoring process includes centralized product monitoring. 

The product improved the overall security of our organization with the features like sandboxing and phishing prevention.

We have centralized monitoring of the security of the clients even if they are not connected to our VPN network.

The e-mail and office solution is a great add-on to our existing Office 365 protection on our company's e-mails.

I also have to mention that we did not have our mobile devices protected before the implementation of Harmony mobile. That was really the next step in securing our company's overall IT security.

The sandboxing is good. We didn't have any file ransomware attacks since implementation.

The phishing protection works. It prevented a lot of nasty situations with fake websites.

Using this solution in e-mail and Office, we recognized how many man-in-the-middle attacks have been started to get some credential information from our employees.

In mobile, we didn't realize before how much harm can be done from the mobile devices in the network.

It replaced the ESET solutions we used before in our company.

We need a higher maximum file size in the sandboxing feature.

Maybe the exceptions could be made much more understandable and easy to use.

There should be an option added to temporarily disable the protection of all or some blades for testing reasons.

The email and Office solution could have some options for exceptions, for example: don't scan e-mails sent to the local PDF scanner e-mail address.

Maybe an option to auto-upgrade the client version to the next stable release of the client software would be nice.

We have been using this solution for more then two years.

We didn't have any stability issues. We always use the stable releases of the client software.

The solution offers very good scalability.

So far, support is very good. I recommend them.

Positive

We used ESET, which was not satisfying.

It was straightforward.

We implemented through a local implementor.

The protection it gives to the clients is priceless.

Get in contact with your local Check Point solution provider to give you an offer regarding the implementation.

We evalute the Fortinet solution.

Check Point Antivirus is being used with integrations in all our company software and also with connections to all the computers that we use in our work sectors. All areas of our company such as sales, marketing, or finance have Check Point Antivirus implemented. 

This antivirus is capable of monitoring the state of the network and knowing if there is any threat in our business network while being able to clean it up immediately. 

All departments within the company have been kept safe since day one of using Check Point. In order to connect all the computers and monitor them in real-time from the Check Point application, we use an app. From this app, you can see the status of all computers, restore them, and eliminate threats from a single panel.

Previously, we had trouble detecting data leaks and protecting the services we used in our business. Financial and marketing software services were the main affected areas. 

After the implementation of Check Point, our computers have remained connected to a secure network where threats are prevented from entering thanks to the EDR system, and systems have been restored to a stable state where there are no threats. 

We have kept our files safe and restored them to an original state before being affected by a threat thanks to the system recovery system. 

We are very grateful for the results obtained in recent years. Our computers (the main source of work) have remained secure. Our employees can manage online campaigns and control the flow of clients without fear of being affected by any threat; it has a system of anti-malware and anti-phishing to detect threats in time.

The main valuable feature of Check Point is the constant updating of the EDR database in order to detect new threats. 

This update system is responsible for inserting new viruses into a database so that it is easier to detect and eliminate them despite the fact that constant notifications are sent when the virus database is updated, I have no complaints about this feature as it has helped me to restrict the passage of new threats. 

New viruses emerge day after day, and this EDR system helps action be taken before viruses affect the internal system.

Another of the striking functions is that Check Point monitors the online activity of each user, ensuring that they do not access websites that have a suspicious encryption code or that have an unusual certificate; this has helped us to navigate calmly and detect pages that might put our work integrity at risk.

One of the features that should be improved in Check Point is when it comes to obtaining reports on computer behavior. Currently, you can only have general reports of the threats removed and the behavior of the database. You cannot get separate reports of the Check Point service-linked devices. I would like to obtain separate reports for each computer, to see the behavior of the threats and be able to take action in time. 

It does not need any other function, it is a fairly complete antivirus service that helps protect business networks on time.

We have been using this solution for about two years. We did not expect such precise and potential results and our security service has been maintained in the long term thanks to this general security on all types of devices.

It turned out to be an antivirus that exceeded my expectations in the long run. 

During the use that we have had in these last two years, our computers have remained protected 24 hours a day and seven days a week. On some occasions, threats have entered our computers, however, the system restore system has counteracted this without any problem. 

It has been a stable antivirus, without any real problems.

The process of scaling, implementation and use went quite well; it took approximately two software engineers and three cyber security experts to successfully implement the service. They were in charge of configuring the real-time monitoring system for computers and updating the status of viruses.

Customer service was satisfactory. 

During our implementation process, several questions arose about how the data leak detection system should be configured. All of these questions were answered immediately in a live chat with the Check Point team.

Positive

Previously, I used the Microsoft service, however, it was not able to protect all the threats trying to get into our business computers. 

One of the main reasons why I stopped using the Microsoft Antivirus service, is due to the fact that it was consuming a lot of resources on the computers while it was running and while the EDR database was being updated. This directly affects the experience of our employees on the computer and limited them at work. Since we implemented the Check Point service, the consumption of resources decreased on a large scale and we managed to obtain better analysis and virus detection.

Setting up the system was somewhat complicated, requiring several of our engineers and cyber experts to successfully implement the antivirus service. 

The initial implementation took approximately one week to set up all the company's computers and synchronize them on the same protected network.

The implementation was done with an internal team in our company; there was no involvement of a vendor team.

Our return on investment has been the protection of the entire work structure, our administrative processes have been protected by this great EDR system, and all the devices used in our company are monitored by a system that is responsible for eliminating threats before they react. 

We are happy with the money spent on this great security software; our computers have been more protected.

I would recommend that you have a good amount of capital to access a considerably good protection plan from Check Point. 

Currently, the prices for installation and configuration are a bit high, and small or medium-sized companies could not afford these prices. 

You need a trained team to implement the Antivirus system as quickly as possible since it is a bit difficult to configure.

In a solution that is undoubtedly worthwhile, it has a perfect methodology for finding viruses before they react to the computer's files. 

It has a very good interface, is easy to handle, and protects all kinds of services that are being used.

Our SOC team uses this solution to observe any unusual behavior or processes running on the endpoint. For example, it is used for phishing detection.

The data is ingested to Splunk.

One of the problems with assessing this type of product is that you don't always know when it's working. You will see when something is wrong, where no threat has been detected. If nothing has happened then you don't know if there was no threat, or instead, the protection was quite good. Also, if no threat is found then it may be that the solution is not good enough to detect these types of malicious activities.

The set of features is quite comprehensive.

The Endpoint security solution integrates with the Check Point firewall services, so it's a combined approach to security.

A unique feature with this product is that it will detect if the user is entering their password on a website, and then block it.

Check Point users a pattern-based security module, which is something that can be improved. Pattern-based security is not the latest architecture and it is insufficient because every day, there are approximately 380,000 new vulnerabilities and threats. Using patterns is difficult because the threats can hide.

I have been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint since I joined the company, several months ago. The company has been using it for longer.

From a stability perspective, I can say that we have had absolutely no problems.

We have not experienced any issues with scalability. We have more than 10,000 users in the company. The users are across a variety of roles. It's used by everybody. As our company grows, the usage also increases.

At this point, there is nowhere we can extend its usage.

I do not have personal experience with technical support so I can't assess them. However, I have heard that it is quite reasonable, so I think that it's fine.

We also use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint.

I am building my own opinion of which is better, between the Check Point product and the Microsoft product. Depending on where you do your research, you get different opinions, although much of that is supplier-driven.

In my former organization, I was using CrowdStrike. It has much better performance when looking only at processes.

I was not part of the implementation because it was in place when I joined the company. 

I have done research on several similar products to try and determine the best-in-class.

From my point of view, I can't see that any features are missing. My primary complaint is that it relies on patterns for threat detection. It does the job, we get our logs, and we get the relevant warnings. Overall, it's a good product.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Check Point Harmony Mobile was provided through an installed agent which has very light protection against malware and ransomware, among others. 

In our country, many ransomware threats have been generated at the country level, for which it was worrying that we had kidnapping or encryption of our data. At the management level, the request was given to provide additional security to protect us. The tool has been very good.

We tested this Check Point tool to assess the performance of our endpoints, and shield them safely while increasing the protection of our platforms.

Our company was looking to strengthen endpoint security with an additional layer of protection. Since we already manage various Check Point solutions across our infrastructure — with consistently positive results — we decided to evaluate Harmony Endpoint as part of our strategy.

After thorough validation, Harmony Endpoint has proven to be highly effective in safeguarding our endpoint devices. It’s been running smoothly, and the performance has met our expectations.

We’ve observed detailed reports of attempted attacks, and thanks to the platform’s visibility and control, we’ve been able to respond quickly and mitigate vulnerabilities. The presence of malware in our environment has significantly decreased.

Overall, Harmony Endpoint offers strong features and reliable protection, making it a valuable component of our security ecosystem.

The characteristic that most attracts our attention is the administration portal. It doesn't require a management server since its licensing and management are through the Check Point Infinity Portal. It is very intuitive and easy to implement.

The way in which the agent is installed on the computers is very easy, it does not consume almost any performance of the server or final computers, in this way there is no need to worry about increasing resources to be able to protect them with Check Point Harmony Endpoint.

We love the reports and monitoring they provide. It helps us quickly see what vulnerabilities we have on our endpoints.

We have few disadvantages or improvement points. However, the Infinity Portal sometimes requires more performance. It is a small detail. However, it could be improved.

On the other hand, it is also essential that the manufacturer improves the public documentation so that users can better understand how it can be implemented with best practices.

Finally, at the support level, we believe that Check Point can improve. Sometimes the answers are provided at dawn, which makes it more challenging to solve.

We’ve been using Check Point Harmony Endpoint for over three years now, and the results have consistently exceeded our expectations. From day one, it’s provided solid endpoint protection across our organization, adapting seamlessly as our infrastructure evolved.

yes

Very Good Experience 

Positive

Previously we only had or used Microsoft's antivirus or endpoint, however, we had all non-centralized security. Through this tool, we can centralize everything in the Infinity Check Point Portal.

Licensing is per endpoint, which is why we think is good. The cost is competitive, and its features are very good.

We validated several manufacturers, however, we did not want to have separate solutions. It seems to us a better option to have only Check Point.

I recommend this security tool, it is always important to test the tool at the test level to decide if it is what you are looking for.

Check Point Antivirus is used with integrations in all the software of our company and also with connections to all the computers that we use in our employees. All operational areas have Check Point Antivirus implemented.

Check Point Antivirus has the ability to monitor the status of the network and know if there is any threat in our network and thus clean it immediately and maintain security.

In our organization, all departments of the company are protected and secure since the implementation and something important can be monitored in real-time from the application of Check Point Antivirus.

It was necessary to implement a tool to detect data leaks and protect the services in our business. The most sensitive software service was where Check Point began to be implemented, seeing how well it worked, it expanded to different areas of the business

With the implementation of Check Point, our computers have been safe within our network and have prevented the entry of threats thanks to the EDR system. We also needed a tool that had system recovery and this tool satisfactorily meets all our requirements.

All the features that Check Point antivirus presents are very important for the implementation of network security and the most valuable part of this tool is the easy and interactive way of its configuration through SmartConsole in Check Point.

It can scan the files that our users have downloaded to check if they have a virus, which is the most important thing. IPS and Antivirus work together, which provides more flexibility and security throughout our work environment and thus be able to have a well-secured infrastructure

One of the most frequent problems that Check Point Antivirus presents is that some antivirus updates fail continuously. However, once the update is done, it does not present any problem and works very well. The solution has high CPU and memory consumption on the firewall. It should work on the consumption of resources since we have also detected that the same thing happens with the performance of the users' machines.

The graphical interface of the solution should also improve a little since it is a little complicated to find certain objects to be able to make a configuration, in addition the guides are outdated and sometimes they do not match the interface which is sometimes complicated to implement.

Check Point Antivirus was implemented 4 years ago..

It is a very stable product. However, we've had some problems with the updates.

It has excellent scalability. The same profile can be used with the same exceptions in the management firewalls

The technical support is regular. There are well-prepared technicians. There are others who are still lacking since some problems have arisen and it has cost them to solve them.

Positive

We used Check Point as our first option.

The initial configuration is simple since it presents a very intuitive graphical interface for the user. The configuration of blocking and allowing rules is easy since the panel was designed to make it as user-friendly as possible.

The implementation was done together with the provider and was quite profitable. The provider was qualified to do this type of installation.

Our ROI is that we keep all our network and equipment safe and updated.

I'd recommend you to try it. It is a good tool that allows and gives users the confidence to manage the network and keep it safe.

As we have already been working with different Check Point products, it was the first option to maintain a consistent line of technology.

Before making the implementation, I'd advise users to verify the performance of the machines where it will be used.
